If they stay healthy Stephenson,Grubb,Morse,LDT,Fisher should be our Oline for the rest of the year. Allen and Reid can be our swing backups.

I agree. The bonus with Allen is that he can play all five offensive line positions. That's invaluable in terms of a back up offensive line player. Add Fulton into the mix and it's a pretty solid looking interior as it moves along and gains continuity.
(And, for what it's worth, the coaching staff was really on Allen's jock in the summer, saying he was the best O-lineman out there. Guy has just had some shit luck in terms of injury and might just best serve the team as the main backup at this point.)
I think that they could potentially upgrade Reid in the next draft, but he's a young player and could potentially develop into that decent swing tackle type of guy. If Fisher can stay healthy from here on out and they can build some continuity, I think it's a pretty good and deep (but young) offensive line. One that you can really build up going forward from this point on.
